Possi bility that President Harding after j the formal conclusion or peace with , uermany. mav inrouen extension 01 .executive clemency open the doois of the Atlanta penitentiary to Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, was suggested today by administration officials. Speculation as to disposition of hi ! case has been widespread here for sev eral weeks. Reports were general until a few days ago, although without official confirmation, that Attorney General Daugherty would recommend that he be pardoned. This belief, I however, was lessened and in some j quarters dissipated by the stand taken by Daugherty in his American Bar Association address of last Wednesday against release of what he called "political ofrenders." Several officials, on having their attention called to the stand taken by the attorney general, immediately pointed out that a distinction esr.sted between a pardon and an extension of executive clemency. A pardon. It was explained, would operate to re-J store Debs to the full rights ami privileges of citizenship in addition to free ing him from prison, while the extension of clemency merely would give him freedom. These officials were strongly of the opinion that in view, or the Socialist leader's age, and because or his of fenses having been held to be of words, rather than deeds, the question of clemency might be considered by the attorney general and by the president.Assertions also were made by these officials that the approximately 200 offenders against the war laws now serving prison sentences, might be, treated apart from Debs on the question or amnesty. Many or theseor-rendej-s, officials maintained, were convicted of infractions or statutes en-: acted before the war, and that even waiving prvoisions of the emergency acts, study would have to be given their cases along the lines of the usual federal prisoner for whom a pardon is suggested.

Possi bility that President Harding after j the formal conclusion or peace with , uermany. mav inrouen extension 01 .executive clemency open the doois of the Atlanta penitentiary to Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, was suggested today by administration officials. Speculation as to disposition of hi ! case has been widespread here for sev eral weeks. Reports were general until a few days ago, although without official confirmation, that Attorney General Daugherty would recommend that he be pardoned. This belief, I however, was lessened and in some j quarters dissipated by the stand taken by Daugherty in his American Bar Association address of last Wednesday against release of what he called "political ofrenders." Several officials, on having their attention called to the stand taken by the attorney general, immediately pointed out that a distinction esr.sted between a pardon and an extension of executive clemency. A pardon. It was explained, would operate to re-J store Debs to the full rights ami privileges of citizenship in addition to free ing him from prison, while the extension of clemency merely would give him freedom. These officials were strongly of the opinion that in view, or the Socialist leader's age, and because or his of fenses having been held to be of words, rather than deeds, the question of clemency might be considered by the attorney general and by the president.Assertions also were made by these officials that the approximately 200 offenders against the war laws now serving prison sentences, might be, treated apart from Debs on the question or amnesty. Many or theseor-rendej-s, officials maintained, were convicted of infractions or statutes en-: acted before the war, and that even waiving prvoisions of the emergency acts, study would have to be given their cases along the lines of the usual federal prisoner for whom a pardon is suggested.
